dawdle at the seaside. 1t is O very sim
ple matter; breathe slowly, and breathe
in as much air Us you can possibly get
into your lungs. When they will hold no
more, then emit your breath as deliber-
ately as you took it in. Suppose you are
walking at your usual pace along the
street; draw in your breath while you are
taking seven steps; emit it while You are
taking the next seven, and so on. 1t will
make you feel queer at first; but keep 1t
up! After practicing this every time you
go out for week or two, you will be able
to breathe in while you are taking eight
or ten steps, and later on, even more
Then note the effects.
THE DELICIOUS EFFECTS.
After walking for quarter of an hour,
at a leisurely pace. on winters day, you
will find yourself warm enough to do
without an overcoat. In half an hour
YOU will be In glow down to the tips Of
your fingers; in an hour you will feel as
if your whole body had been vigorously
exercised. And so it has. Take the
measurement of your chest after a year
of such practice and you will find it has
increased in girth matter Of three inches.
And your eyes viii be brighter, your skin
IreSl6TS your bIOuldCA yOA
muscles firmer-because you will have
thoroughly aerated and oxygeniEed your
blood. And you viii have acquired the
habit not only of breathing slowly and
deeply while you are out walking or exer-
cising, but of breathing in that manner
all the time. And if you are called upon
suddenly to escape over plowed field
from mad bull you will find yourself
able to do so without losing your breath
which might, in such case, be tanta-
mount to losing your life as well. I need
scarcely say that all the breathing must
be done through the nose, with the mouth
shut. That comes hard at first, but it is
worth while taking great deal of pains
about.
Observe these rules for year and you
will be twice the man or woman that you
are now; and then you may begin to think
about ymnastics.-Julian Hawthorne in

Saw Their Child Rurned to Death.

WEST BEND, Wis, Aug IA farmer of
Germantown named Arnold was awakened
from his after-dinner nap Friday by little
daughter, who told him his barn was burned.
He rushed out of the house to find his little
son hanging over the lower half of the barn
door, the upper half being open. The little
fellow was crying for his mamma" to help
him, and the flames were rolling out of the
half-open door. SO intense was the heat that
no one could rescue the boy, and the parents,
powerless to do anything, saw the flames en-
wrap the little fellow, and saw him suddenly
fall back into the fire. His charred body
was afterward recovered. 1t is thought the
boy set fire to the barn while playing with
matches

Frishtful Collision on Branch of the Con-
cord Road in New Hampshire.

accident occurred on the Hooksett branch of
the Concord railroad Saturday morning The
up accommodation passenger train reported
nine minutes late and came via the Suncook
branch The mixed train from Pittsfield was
on time and started south from Suncook for

The engineers and firemen of both trains had
time to jump and escaped unhurt. George

stantly killed. There are a number of in
jured, two, it is said, fatally. A relief train

INDIANA ELECTION CROOKS.
The Case Now i'll the Hands of the Jury
Judge Woods Charge.

HocUS &hAESes
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. Judge Clay
pool, counsel for the state, closed his argu-
ment in the tally sheet conspiracy case at
noon Friday.
Judge Woods, in charging the jury, spoke
extemporaneously for two hours and received
the closest attention throughout. He re-
viewed the cases at length and was very
severe on the defendants, in some cases sing
ling individuals out by name. He quoted
largely from the opinion of Justice Harlan
in the Coy habeas corpus case, and reviewed
the counts of the various indictments. 1t
was unnecessary to aver that the papers
were taken and changed, he said, it being
enough to say that there was a conspiracy to
do So A line was drawn between the for.
geries and conspiracy, and the court said the
government need not have sworn that the
object of the conspiracy had been consum-
mated
The jury retired about 4:30 p. m. 1t is the
general impression that some of the defend
ants will be declared guilty, and the return
of the jury is awaited with intense interest

nation that the Red River Valley railroad

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 1 w. s.
Weems, an old man who lives alone in the
north part of this city, was found Friday
evening .ntting in the door of his house with
fatal pistol wound in his head. He was
taken to the hospital in semi-unconscious
condition, but was not able to give a CO.
herent account of the shooting. Suspicious
of suicidal intent are entertained by some,
but by the direction taken by the ball it is
more than likely that the shot was fired by
some other person than himself.

FRESH OUT DOOR AIR.

AS regards the lungs, the more fresh
out door air you can get into them the
happier and more comfortable you will be.
But it Is not enough to go out in the open
air; you must learn how to breathe when
you get there. Most people let year after
year go by without once drawing a full
breath. A quantity of impure air always
remains at the bottom of their lungs, like
bilge water in ship; and it contaminates
the whole system. If you will breathe
properly, you may get more benefit from
half an hour in your back yard than
another person viii from q twelve hours

The scuttIe- butt, which no sea sweeping
over US could dislodge, had been wrenched
from its fastenings and rolled from stem to
stern dozen times. Blankets which the
men had brought up the previous evening
had been rent and torn in all sorts OF
shapes as the horrid arms pulled at them.
The tarpaulins had been torn from the
matches and dragged about, and had not
the hatch covers been securely hooked

II some Of the creatures were gone; at
least there were not so many arms twist
ing about. Lifting my head until 1 could
see along the port rail, l discovered the
beaks of only two octopuses. Others were
in the water alongside, however, and had
their feelers over the rail, some clinging
fast to shroud or mast, while others were
carefully moving about. A breeze had
come up and was angry and impatient at
the delay, but ! restrained myself to
wait for another half hour. By that
time the creatures had deserted US
entirely. From the commotion in the
water on the rocky reef, [ had no doubt
that it was the den or nesting place of the
creatures, and that they had returned after
venting their anger on US as far as possible.
Such riff1e-rafle l never saw before or
after on vessels deck. We could not put

OF them to enter the yawl and pick up the
stuff floating about. We worked swiftly

damage, keeping q man on the lookout all
the time, and we were thankful bedy Of

we were clear Of the bay.
AS to the strength of an octopus, will
tell you what four or FIVE of US once saw at
one of the Spice islands. There was yawl
floating astern of small trading schooner
anchored OF the beach. l was on the
schooner talking with the Captain, and his
crew of five men were all on deck, when an
octopus rose on the port side of the yawl
and flung three of his tentacles into it We
saw every thing from the first move. The
arms, sliding about, found nothing to lay
hold OF, and then, as if the octopus was ID
dignant at his ill-luck, he capsized the ya|l
in a twinkling. The water was not over
twelve feet there, and, getting hold on
the rocks he pulled the yawl astern until he
broke the painter, which was new inch
rope. The strength displayed in that move
ment was equal to that of draught horse,
but he was not using more than a third OF
his power.-N Y. Sun.
